Dear church family and friends,
The moment Jesus began His earthly ministry,
He was preparing to pass on His ministry. John
1:40-42 records, “Andrew, Simon Peter’s
brother…followed Jesus.” The first thing
Andrew did was to find his brother…and he
brought him to Jesus.
Jesus spent more time with His disciples than with anyone else
during the three years of His ministry. Jesus was preparing the
church, the Body of Christ, to minister to the world.
Wise Baptist Church is part of the Body of Christ. Jesus is
present and works through our church. During the last church
year, we know that at least 114 people served in 324 ways!
This number, however, does not even include many, many people
who served unofficially! Imagine how our community and
beyond would have been negatively impacted if none of this
service had taken place.
Thank you for your service in the past, present, and future!
Our new church year begins September 1. Presently, the
Personnel Committee is seeking to match the gifts and abilities
of our people with ministry opportunities. Pray for the
Personnel Committee. Pray for those who will serve. Pray
about your place of service.
I look forward to what God will do through Wise Baptist
Church in the coming church year!
Love, Pastor Mike

Our Time to Serve: Ministry Opportunities
How would you like to serve God this coming church year? There are many avenues of service available
through the ministries of Wise Baptist Church! Our prayer is that each person at Wise Baptist will “plug in” &
find/explore a place of service this year. If you do not wish to change your place of service, it’s not necessary to
contact the Personnel Committee.
Below is a list of existing ministries. If you would like to become a part of an existing ministry, change your
ministry commitment, or have an area of interest for another ministry, please let us know!
